Chapter 1601
Chapter 1601:
“Miss Holland.” An unknown voice greeted her. “I'm calling on behalf of Mr. Farris Ashton.”
Corrine’s response cwithout hesitation. “Please inform him that | decline.” She terminated the call with a
decisive tap.
Fully aware that the Ashton inheritance was a maze of complications and suspecting Farris was plotting against
her, Corrine would need to be insane to accept such an offer.
Moreover, she had no interest in the Ashton family’s wealth. With her abilities, she could easily acquire ten such
companies.
Barely two seconds after ending the call, her phone vibrated to life once more. When she saw the caller ID, her
features softened imperceptibly. She composed herself and answered with measured calm.
“Still working?” Nate's rich baritone flowed through the speaker.
She placed her mug down and leaned against her desk, one arm crossed elegantly over her chest as her gaze
wandered across the forest of skyscrapers visible through her panoramic windows. “Does contemplating you
qualify as work?”
Nate hesitated briefly. “Instead of merely contemplating, why not gracewith your presence?”

Corrine arched an eyebrow in surprise, then heard Nate say, “I'm waiting at the entrance to your building.”
Those simple words captured her heart instantly.
After hanging up, she swiftly organized her desk and headed toward the elevator.

Corrine acknowledged him with a slight nod before gracefully lowering herself into the car. Once settled, the
sleek vehicle began to purr away from the curb with deliberate smoothness.
“Are you not concerned | might whisk you away on an unexpected adventure?” Nate's eyes danced with mischief
as he cast a sidelong glance at Corrine, the corners of his mouth lifting into a gentle smile.
Corrine arched an eyebrow, her lips curving slightly. “Would you dare?”
“I wouldn't,” Nate confessed softly.
His warm fingers entwined with Corrine’s, his thumb tracing delicate circles across her knuckle. “Franco has
arrived in Lyhaton. I'm taking you to meet him tonight.”
At his words, Corrine’s expression crystallized into perfect stillness.
The nFranco resonated in her memory with familiarity.
She had stumbled upon Franco’s nduring her meticulous investigation into Rachel's past.
Nate had mentioned him before, hinting at a connection that seemed significant beyond casual acquaintance.
